I took a deep breath and gently entered the house; although the width was not too large, the length of the house was almost endless. I kept walking but couldn't figure out where the end was.Suddenly a sticky hand on my shoulder and a strong smell of blood hit my nose. I cautiously drew the short knife from my belt, but my hands immediately trembled when I saw Alfine.His face was as white as paper, his lips were black, and blood appeared all over his body.I quickly caught up with the fallen Alfine and asked. "What happened? Why are you so badly injured?”Alfine gasped; I have never seen him struggle like this, he interrupted. "There were many snakes inside; they attacked me."“Have you been bitten yet?” I’m worried.This time Alfine couldn't answer me anymore because he had fainted. His entire weight was on me, his breath weak and helpless like a dead man.I shook Alfine and tried to wake him up, but it didn't work.At this time, Lagan and Caser also entered the house.As soon as he
“Have you seen the Blood Clover yet?” Alfine asked."While you were in a coma, I looked around; I didn't see anything." I honestly replied."It seems we cannot get it unless he gives it himself," Alfine spoke heavily.There was a rustling sound outside the door; I saw two dark shadows stretching on the ground.I quickly stood up, suddenly seeing Caser and Lagan chatting happily.Wasn't it a few hours ago that it was almost killing each other? How can it be so peaceful now?Seeing my surprise, Lagan happily explained. “We cleared the misunderstanding; he even said tomorrow he would give us Blood Clover to bring back to save Ryan.”"Really?" I don't know how to describe my feelings now; I can only nod repeatedly to show my gratitude to Caser. "I know you're a good person, thank you very much."Caser didn't show any emotion; he nodded as if accepting my thanks and then turned his eyes to Alfine. “Wake up? Then tell me, how do you compensate me for those snakes?”Alfine was silent; in thi
Caser's expression grew even more sinister, and he smirked mockingly. “I didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly, but I thought I would kill him quickly.”"What is this? Why does its shape resemble Blood Clover so much?” Lagan frowned.Caser widened his eyes; he laughed like a madman, half of his face ruined, and those sharp teeth made him more terrifying than ever.“It's a weed that I accidentally discovered while trying to grow Blood Clover, I haven't named it yet, but you can call it Die for now. Because once you drink it, your body will contract violently; every cell in the body will also begin to be destroyed, the blood will circulate at a terrifying speed, the heart will crack, and the pressure in the body will decrease, going high, eventually… the body will explode.” Caser said as he described, indeed, at this moment, he was clouded by hatred.I narrowed my eyes at Caser's cruel words before I thought he had changed his mind and Ryan was saved, but a thousand times, I neve
“NO…” I yelled until my throat hurt.I was like a fool waking up from a trance; my eyes restored their color, and the dark red pupils gradually disappeared.I turned pale when I saw Alfine's loss; I shouted a warning to Alfine. “Alfine, to your left.”Alfine rolled his eyes and lay down just in time to dodge a fatal blow from Caser.After Lagan had recovered a little, he approached me; he did not immediately tell me about my abnormal state a few minutes ago. Even so, I could easily see the doubt and astonishment in his eyes, but I overlooked that detail because I thought he was worried about Caser.I was surprised to see Lagan's clothes in disarray and the wound on his chest; it was like being stuck in a claw. “What's wrong with you, Mr. Lagan? Caser attacked you?”Lagan raised his head, looked at me thoughtfully, then nodded heavily."The wound is too deep." I frantically searched for a clean towel in my backpack and returned. “Let me bandage you temporarily.”"Do not need." Lagan tu
At this time, Lagan also ran over; he was heartbroken to see Caser panting at Alfine's feet. He said sadly. “Please spare his life….”Alfine glared at us like crazy; he huffed for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and dropped the limp Caser to the ground.Lagan quickly approached and put his hand to his nose to check Caser's breathing; he smiled in relief. "Fortunately, it can be saved." When Lagan leaned over and picked Caser up, he turned to look at me with a grateful look. "Thank you; I'll talk to him after he wakes up."I nodded, then dropped the whip beside me. I helplessly buried my face between my knees for a long time.If I choose that, Ryan may not be saved, but I don't want to harm anyone just because of my selfishness.“Why stop me from killing him? After we kill him, we'll rummage through this house; I don't believe we can find the Blood, Clover." Alfine had reverted to his human form, wearing only long pants and showing off his toned muscles.“We just came here to as
Without stopping, that voice began to ring out; this time, she carried a ghostly sound. ‘Erza, no one in this world understands you better than me. I know what you think. Have the courage to look inside yourself and see what you want. Are you struggling? You are agonizing between two streams of thought. One is to kill Caesar and bring back the Blood Clover. The second is to stand by and watch our mate die. Erza, you can't be so selfish; Ryan saves your life. Why are you willing to let go now that the opportunity to save him is right in front of you?' Her voice trailed off with a broken cry like she was also suffering.Every time that cry rang out, I felt my nerves stretch and then snap, a feeling that was not pleasant at all.I whispered tiredly. “After all, what are you?”This time she replied very quickly. 'It's nothing; I'm you; you're me. Erza, release me; please free me from this dark place. If you can't, I'll help you save Ryan.'“Are you telling the truth?” I whisper like an id
Early in the morning, I went to the main room, where Caser rested.From a distance, I could see some irregularities; the large door was open, and the wind blew the leaves in. I rushed over to find it empty, I touched Caser's bed, and it had been cold for a long time, meaning he didn't sleep there.Could it be that he didn't want to see us, so he deliberately avoided us?His injuries yesterday were severe; where did he go?At the same time, Lagan woke up and was surprised to see me. "Why you're here?" Without waiting for an answer, he looked around the room and asked again. "Where's Caser?"“I don't know; I came here he is no longer here. But you sleep right next to it; don't you know when he left here?" I ask because Lagan said he would stay here to care for Caser last night.Lagan shook his head, smiling wryly. “Last night, because I hated hearing the sounds of animals outside, I stuck cotton balls in my ears. Let's go home if he doesn't want to see us."I bowed my head and stood mot
My speed can't keep up with Alfine and Lagan, especially when they transform into wolves and run at incredible speeds; even though I try my best, I always leave myself a long way.I couldn't take it anymore, my strength was exhausted, and I stopped. I put my hands on my knees and gasped; Alfine turned his head to look at me, intending to stop to let me rest.I immediately shook my head. “No, you two go, don't worry about me. After I get better, I'll chase after everyone, don't delay to save Ryan."Alfine and Lagan exchanged glances and then turned to look at me, Lagan let out a growl as if to tell me that I had to chase, and the two of them rushed straight into the forest.I clasped my hands and looked up at the sky. “Hopefully, it saves you time, Ryan.”About five minutes later, I managed to get up and ran after the trails Alfine intentionally left. At nightfall, I finally saw the door of the Black Moon appear. The distance was short, but we lost our way and much time."Who are you?
